Why go to White Water Walk

The White Water Walk at 4330 River Road in Niagara Falls is a quarter-mile boardwalk at the base of the Niagara Gorge, reached by an elevator that descends 70 metres. The boardwalk runs beside the Whirlpool Rapids, Class 6 water that Niagara Parks says moves at 48 km/h.

Niagara Falls Tourism describes the boardwalk as wheelchair accessible apart from two small viewing areas reached by stairs. The attraction runs seasonally from April to November, admission is $21 for adults and $13.50 for children aged 3 to 12 before tax, and parking is on site.
